Spark

And you caught me on fire

With your slowly burning flame

Embers of desire 

Banked and dark 

But still untamed 

Please fall away forever 

Or come after

Burning hot 

I see though in your endevore 

Because never's all you got 

And pillows simmer sadness 

Smoke and dust to rise above 

Can you see it in the ashes 

What maybe once was love 

Or is there still a kindle 

A tiny light 

A hint of spark 

That might catch apon the embers 

And etch it's tiny mark 

Because the heat still hides within me

And I see it in your face 

There are sufficient pockets 

Where a spark might still escape 

So I tend it oh so gently 

And I wait so patiently 

For that flicker of desire

To once again alight on me
